Help please, no stat or skill gains.....

jfk · 3rd May 2007, 01:38 PM

Yep, I've been doing animal form forever, no gain. I know I will only gain +5 in stats with the +25 scroll, but it should have been an immediate gain due to GGS. Anyway, I finally go two stat gains today, it took almost two hours but at least their coming along. I am going to stone off Ninjitsu onto another character and try it there, just to see what happens. Thanks for the replies.

Before you stone it off. Try death strike a few times.

What's your ninjitsu at?

You could just be using the wrong spell/attack.

Animal Form doesn't give gains early, then Shadow Jumps stop in the 80's somewhere, Focus Attack works til mid 90's well (without scroll) and DeathStrike after that.

She was capped at 250 on stats, but I bought a +25 scroll for her today, thinking that I could work her up with that on stats. I worked her for 3 hours for NOTHING. I am trying to build intelligence on her and I got nothing. I stripped all armor/weaps/jewels to take her to zero bonuses. She was 114 strength, 114 dex, and 22 intel, and would not gain. This is frustrating, first the ninjitsu and now the stats. I'm trying to redesign her and can't figure this one out. I even turned the arrows down on strength and dex and left it up on intell hoping this would help, but no joy. Any ideas? I really don't want to delete her out and start over, as I have neither feel I should have to shell out for adv char token OR spending another 3.5 mill for the +25 stat scroll.

I think that is the problem

I was too lazy to re-read that, thanks Vepl.

That IS the problem. Unless you've eaten a 120 scroll, you should be using DeathStrike for gains.

Yep.:grin: Thanks for the input. Started using DS and got a gain immediately. Another a little while later. She only ate a 115, but that seemed to turn the trick. Thanks for all the input.

Now you get to suffer the painful climb to 115... took me a few months.
